Volunteer and Teach English in Thailand
In the Northern areas of Thailand, such as Chiang Rai, many of the local people have not been fortunate enough to have access to any type of formal education. Therefore, there is a real need for volunteers to assist in the education of not only young children, but also adults from surrounding hill tribes and local villages.

In the Northern areas of Thailand, such as Chiang Rai, many of the local people have not been fortunate enough to have access to any type of formal education. Therefore, there is a real need for volunteers to assist in the education of not only young children, but also adults from surrounding hill tribes and local villages. Volunteers may be based in a local hill tribe village or at IVHQ's partner organization with other participants and staff, depending on your preference. Although schools are shut for the holidays during March, April, May and October, teaching is needed all year round. When schools are not operating, our local staff run school camps and other activities for local hill tribe children. NB: Volunteers DO NOT need to be a qualified or experienced teacher.

As someone used to a Western lifestyle, volunteering in Thailand offered unique challenges and rewards. It taught me the values of gratitude, love, and simplicity. For anyone hesitant about joining this program, I would say that while it may be challenging, the benefits far outweigh the difficulties. You’ll gain invalu...
The highlight from the volunteer experience was everything!
by: Marie OxonitschProgram: Volunteer and Teach English in ThailandThe highlight from the volunteer experience was everything! From teaching the most amazing children and learning so much about their culture to travelling with my newly found friends to Bangkok for the weekend. The program is so much more than just working with children, it‘s the people you meet the places you see, all of it is eye opening. It awakened an urge to travel and volunteer all over the world. I want to work with more children, animals and adults and learn more about all the different ...
Go for it and gain confidence!
by: Michelle IgboProgram: Volunteer and Teach English in ThailandThe highlight from the volunteer experience was meeting the other volunteers as they were from different parts of the world and immersing ourselves into each other cultures as well as learning another one. The biggest impact my volunteering trip had on me was gaining more confidence in myself and my ability to interact more within my community. My advice is just go for it. If you're scared about meeting new people, you do have the option of doing it with friends but once you are there, you'll no...
